What you know about Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson owns 50 pets
Kelly Clarkson owns 50 animals.
The 'Because of You' hitmaker admits her home has become like a "rescue ranch" as she is so willing to take in sick and abandoned creatures.
She said: "It's like a rescue ranch now. We have 30 dogs, 14 horses. We still only have three ponies and four minis, but we have goats now, two pigs we rescued called Miss Daisy and Boss Hog, I gave those to my brother."
While Kelly loves getting new animals, she insists there are some creatures she wouldn't take in because they are just too big.
She explained: "There are elephant sanctuaries about one mile from where we are – which in Texas isn't that far because we're all spread out – and people have asked would I ever take in something that big. And I'm like, 'No.' Leave that to the elephant sanctuary. I think there's a tiger sanctuary in Texas too. We would never have tigers."
Despite being surrounded by animals, the 29-year-old star is still happy to eat meat, though she insists she wouldn't sacrifice any of her pets for dinner.
She told NME magazine: "I eat pork, don't get me wrong but I'm not going to bake my own! I can't do this. I can't maim them then eat them, that's wrong."
Kelly Clarkson: Dating is like American Idol audition
Kelly Clarkson thinks dating is like "an 'American Idol' audition".
The 'Mr. Know It All' hitmaker – who won the first season of the TV talent show in 2002 - finds it "hard" to meet men she gets along with, as they are always over-confident or "intimidated" by her.
She told 'Access Hollywood': "The problem isn't getting offers - the problem is getting offers from someone you like, you know? It's really hard to find."
"I recently said to my manager, 'You know what the problem is? It's like an 'American Idol' audition. The worst ones are the most confident.' And the same thing goes for my dating life. The worst guys are the most confident with me.
"And the ones you want to ask you out are intimidated, so yeah, it's not fun. Dating is hard!"
The 29-year-old singer recently explained she is looking forward to meeting a "hot man" who thinks she's "freakin' awesome".
Telling fans what's on her "can't wait" list, Kelly wrote on her Facebook page: "I also can't wait to find a hot man that thinks I'm freakin' awesome ha! There's a lot of things on my 'can't wait' list people! (sic)"
